(Gabriel Dell) and Milty (Bernard Punsly) again speak in the thickened explosives of New Yorkese, roast mickeys (potatoes) in street fires, harass the brass-buttoned doorman of the neighborhood's swank apartment house, defy a flatfoot (policeman), beat the dickens out of a rich kid (Charles Peck), plan a gang war.
